Parkleigh is an eclectic gift and card shop on Park Ave. They carry greeting cards, stationery, and extensive selection of Godiva chocolates, beauty products, coffees, teas, books, jewelry, gag gifts, clothing and MUCH more. They are also connected to a Crabtree and Evelyn store which carries scented bath and body products and sleepwear. I go into Parkleigh to browse around a few times a year, and I always have the same thought in my mind: "This is the girliest store I have ever been in!" Being a woman myself, I don't mind that too much, but I always wonder what the husbands and boyfriends who get dragged in there think. So, as an experiment I took my husband today. He was not in a stellar mood to begin with, and we didn't stay long. His main complaint was that there were no prices on the chocolates. Apparently having to ask the price of an item is a pet peeve of his. So, the bottom line is that if you are looking for a unique gift for a woman or a fun place to browse with your best girl bud, then this is a good choice. Otherwise, I'd skip it.
